I'm sorry you felt attacked and apologize.

I was quite aware that you merely translated it. But since it wasn't
marked as a citation in the original mail, my mail user agent gave
these lines your prefix. It wasn't entirely wrong as you *did* write
it (even if it was merely a translation), so I didn't think anything
of it.

At the time I thought everyone reading the thread would understand it
and not attribute those sentences to you even though the quoting
looked that way.

I must admit that my replying to you in the first person probably
didn't help, though.

So I apologize for creating such a mess. If it helps: I never
attributed those statements to you.

Regards,
                Georg
